Conservatives Need To Come Out Of The Closet Over Gay Vote Says Mayor Gavin Newsome Of San Francisco

In a private, off the record conversation with a British businessman at a fundraiser in San Francisco, the Mayor of the Bay City, Gavin Newsome said that if the Conservative Party were to have any chance of evolving into a credible government, then they were going to have to come out of the closet, stop dragging their feet, and let people such as gay voters know exactly where they will stand under a Conservative government.

Mayor Newsome stated that he was well aware that Britain has a lot of gay people - although probably not as many as San Francisco - and that the gay section of the electorate need to be treated even-handedly, and not like they don't exist.

Mayor Newsome's remarks come as a further body blow to David Cameron's election chances, following on from the B&B gay row sparked by Shadow Home Secretary, Chris Grayling, who intimated that he wouldn't be happy having two hairy arsed men licking one another's earholes on his own couch while he was trying to watch Dickinson's Real Deal on afternoon TV.
